Formscan By Gary Carson - BALLYGUNNER CASTLE was an eye-catching third on his debut run at Thurles in mid-February and should prove hard to beat now. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding stayed on nicely behind stablemate Coco Masterpiece that day and looked like he would only improve from the experience. The form looks strong with the runner-up, Fishery Lane, going on to finish fifth at Cheltenham. Olympy De Cerisy chased home a Willie Mullins-trained horse, in Cantico, at Navan last time and it could be a similar story for Declan Queally's charge, who is fitted with a tongue-tie and hood for the first time. Pat Foley's newcomer Jericho Du Fenoir is one to note in the market. The five-year-old cost €65,000 as a store a couple of years ago and is a half-brother to Champion Hurdler Espoir D'allen.
